Gaster looked around the town and smiled, the humans here were oblivious to him, as far as they knew he was human just like them. Hiding his wings and tail with his cape, Gaster could use basic magic to disguise himself, so as long as no one looked to closely he'd be fine.

While walking towards  an alleyway Gaster noticed the Human Royal Guard, which were in his opinion, completely useless. They never helped anyone, and if they did they only helped the posh , rich, upper class people. It wasn't far at all.

As far as Gaster knew the rich, stupid people got  to live in the mansions that surrounded the town center,  while the poorer people had to live in small wood cottages which were packed closely together and often two or three miles away from town. In short, he had thought to himself, humans were idiots.

On his left Gaster noticed three large brick buildings each with at least ten floors, there was dark alleyways between each of them. They were massive. Immense even. What he also noticed was that the building furthest from him was burning, and the dumb royal guards weren't doing anything to stop it. 

Sprinting towards the building Gaster could see a girl at one of the windows on the ninth floor. She would be killed if she jumped. He ran in the building and located the spiral staircase. After spreading his wings out from underneath the cape, he flew straight up the middle landing on level nine. With a quick glance down the staircase he saw that the first two floors had now been consumed by fire, the only way out was flying through the window. He would have to drop his disguise, as he would he need all his magic to make his wings strong enough to carry him and the girl.

Knocking on the door before he entered Gaster looked around the room. On one side  there was a small bed in the corner opposite a chest of draws in the other corner. Not much else except a small pile of books and a plate of half finished food.

On the other  side of the room however, there was the girl.

She shrank back as soon as she saw him, his disguise had disappeared and his wings and tail were no longer hidden

She shrank back as soon as she saw him, his disguise had disappeared and his wings and tail were no longer hidden. "p-please don't hurt me" Gaster smiled  before he replied "I'm not going hurt you, look if you tell me your name i'll tell you mine and then we can get out of here" offering out his hand for her to take. The girl looked nervous but still replied slowly reaching out her hand. "I'm F-frisk, Who are you?" Gaster told her his name and she immediately shrank back again causing Gaster to face palm. That was a mistake. 

Due to the starting the war, Gaster had earned quite a reputation. Turing into a giant skeletal dragon and eating people definitely wasn't helping.  

"Look, kid, i don't want to eat you, or dismember you, or kill you or injure you in any way okay,  i only kill when it's necessary." He tried to smile in a non evil way and just creeped Frisk out more.

"Or when you turn into a giant dragon and kill people" She pointed out makin Gaster smile. "Or that" he agreed. "See kid you can trust me, i won't you i promise" he told her. "Pinky swear" she asked and he laughed, it was just like making a promise Papyrus back at camp. 

After getting Gaster to pinky swear and double checking he wasn't going to kill her, Frisk decided to trust him. He was much nicer than everyone said he was. She picked up her blue satchel from the floor next to her and swung it over her shoulder. When she turned back to Gaster he had removed a small white parcel from the rucksack he had been carrying. 

After passing the parcel over to Frisk Gaster asked her to take it to the center clearing in the forest about four miles away from town. "Give it to a skeleton in a grey jacket with a fur hood and flowers on his face please, he's called Gill" he told Frisk as she placed it in her satchel.  "It's extremely important." Frisk nodded yes before Gaster grabbed her and picked her up. This had taken by complete surprise which caused her to scream slightly. Gaster laughed before pretending to drop her making her scream again. "Kid it's fine i ain't gonna drop you" Frisk just glared at him, obviously annoyed.

Gaster decided to exit the window in the most logical way and backflip out making Frisk scream. Spreading his wings out Gaster made sure they didn't fall to their doom while Frisk clung on to him for fear of falling. It didn't take long for the Royal Guards to notice them in the sky and they started firing arrows to knock Gaster and Frisk out of the sky. "Stop It You IDIOTS your gonna hit the girl!!!!!!" Gaster shouted at them before flying closer to ground. 

When he got as close to the ground as he could without landing, Gaster crashed onto the floor dropping Frisk get away from the royal guards. 

Frisk away from the violent scene that was going on behind her and started running towards the forest Gaster had been talking about earlier. She could hear a struggle going on before a thud and Gaster crying out in pain. Frisk went to turn around and help but remembered something he had told as they had flown towards the floor. 

"Listin Kid,  As soon as i land the Guards are going to try and arrest me.  They'll try and get you too if you don't run, it's the only things their good at. I'll try and fight them off but i doubt i'll manage to get away. That's why i need you to deliver the package"

So Frisk ran, as fast as she could, towards the forest, towards the clearing.
